Transport, yes, I feared that would be the case.

Good news about the pioneers, makes that new German infantry look very nice.

In my view, spotters had limited contact, normally only with the unit they were directing for.

Saying that an RAF officer could direct mortars for an infantry unit is bonkers.

But I understand why the rules are written…[Read more]

the v3 get-you-by lists are copy and pastes with minor CORE rule changes from the armies of books … historical unit changes werent updated – even those that have been in the v2 FAQ for YEARS!

The campaign book corrections likewise havent been factored in to the get-you-by lists…

We currently dont have any dates for when the minor nations…[Read more]

2.  … what about FAOs?  still allowing them to spot for any non-inexpeirenced indirect weapon?

1.  Does it have a transport capacity?  Is it taken in a transport slot?  If yes to both, it’s a transport and suffers the transport’s draw backs.

From v2 (cant recall if majorly different in v3) any level where you could stand /place models is…[Read more]

I used this one for now… I have not checked it, but it worked well in our game.

Large calibre FTW. The small amend mentioned above works well for howitzers and artillery barrages in particular. That said, I am still not entirely sure what to do with a barrage hit on a building.

One of the big reasons why rubble was an issue was that it often ended up in the streets, which kind of clogged things up for vehicles and movement…[Read more]

Hi,

I’m Ludo. I live in France. I’ve been war gaming for the last 10+ years. I have been a role player for the last 40ish years. I currently play at :

• Congo
• SAGA
• Musquets and Tomahawk
• Des tranchées au barricades

I have some flames of wars minis and rule books, but have never used them. I also own a bunch of Hail Caesar rules books,…[Read more]

So buildings… in real life are great hiding places… right up until spotters then they become death traps when targeted by artillery.

thank you, for 10 pts they can function.
